Ability to customize the label of Date/Time variables

Desired Feature
Be able to customize the label format of Date/Time variables shown in Displayr.
More detail
We need the ability to customize the labeling of Date/Time variables in Displayr. Right now we can do this in R, but the final variable Structure is a Nominal variable - which is not compatible with statistical testing that compares each period to the previous one. For example, instead of showing Jan-Mar 20, the user wants to label this and other quarters: Q1 2020. And also, use the compare to previous period setting on stat testing. Right now, the workaround is to relabel the dates using R, but then the user is limited to creating tables that work well with R (no spans, no arrows, etc). This request will reduce the extra outputs that users need to make (and may potentially slow down documents) and reduce custom R code that the user has to use, making the software feel more point and click.

Improve discoverability of methods to relabel Date/Time Row or Column Labels

Currently, if a user tries to relabel a column or row heading in a table where a date/time variable is used, they receive a message: This action is not available for this type of data.
There is, however, a custom rule users can employ to relabel these row/column headers. https://help.displayr.com/hc/en-us/articles/5909794745871-How-to-Relabel-a-Date-Time-Variable
This feature request suggests customizing the message users receive when attempting to relabel the row/column headers to better indicate the options, for example:
This action is not available for this type of data. For more information on changing date/time labels, see How to relabel a Date Time Variable (with a link to the help page).

Ability to change formatting

Allow uses to select the format in which the Date/Time variable appears.
The default is the US setting (MM/DD/YYYY); however, non-US users would prefer DD/MM/YYYY or alternative settings (MM/DD/YY....)

Requesting to update the Rule "Abbreviate Month Lobels" under "Modify Headers"

Currently the months June, July and September abbreviates to 4 letters (June, July, Sept) compared to all other months getting abbreviated to 3 letters. Can you please update the rule where the months June, July and September gets abbreviated to "Jun", "Jul", and "Sep"? I have to go into each of my document to make this change manually and I have over 1000 documents.

Currently the customer has to create a JavaScript Rule to do this but it would be great if we could have a Rule that allows the user to customize the Quarter heading in a menu.

Dates are labeled in a standard way in Displayr tables and cannot be changed except by writing a rule. It would be great to be able to set the format of how you want your date displayed on the variable itself in the common YYYY-MMM-DD type of format that's easily used. This way customers dont' have to mess with editing JavaScript code in a rule to rewrite the headers.

It would be great to be able to set custom formatting for Date/Time variables in tables. Currently we can only do this via rules.
